Chennai Express Nears The 200 Crore Club

Chennai Express has shown minimal drops even on weekdays and continues to rock at the box office

No one would have thought that a desi, action-comedy like Chennai Express would work outside India.

But given SRK’s fan following in NRI markets the film has been simply unstoppable in overseas territories. While the film has shown the usual weekday drops in India, the percentage is not as high as one would have expected after the massive opening. And as of trends on Tuesday, it is comfortably approaching the Rs 200 Crore mark worldwide.

According to sources the movie’s break up currently stands at Rs 113 Crore plus in India and Rs 54 Crore overseas.

The film is expected to add Rs 10 Crore daily, over the weekdays and a huge jump is expected on Thirsday, which is a national holiday.

The film has already broken the record for the highest ever-opening weekend by collecting Rs 100 Crore in less than four days.

Chennai Express is doing very well in evening shows, which means it has worked with family audiences.
